Driver Standings After the 2024 F1 Canadian Grand Prix

Published on 2024-06-10

The 2024 Formula 1 season continued with an electrifying race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, where drivers battled it out in the Canadian Grand Prix. The event, which took place on Friday, June 7, 2024, saw a mix of strategy, skill, and sheer determination as the drivers navigated through 70 laps of intense racing.

Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing claimed victory with a time of 1:45:47.927s, earning him 25 points and marking his sixth win of the season. Following closely was Lando Norris of McLaren, who finished in second place with a time difference of +3.879s, securing 18 points. George Russell of Mercedes completed the podium in third place, just +4.317s behind Verstappen, adding 15 points to his tally.

The race was not without its drama, as heavy rain before the start ensured a wet track, leading to a cautious crawl off the grid. The weather played a significant role, with drivers having to make strategic calls on tire choices as conditions shifted from wet to dry.

Notably, Charles Leclerc of Ferrari faced a challenging race, ultimately going home without points and dropping significantly in the driver standings due to a power unit issue and a gamble on slick tires that did not pay off. Similarly, Sergio Perez failed to score any points after a dramatic qualifying session.
